Viewing Menu Security Details

Access the Menu Security page (PeopleTools, and then Portal, and then View Menu Security).

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Objects tab of the Menu Security page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Use this page to view a list of folders or content references that a user ID, role, or permission list can access.

Note:

The Seq Nbr (sequence number) column is hidden in this illustration, and because of the large number of objects, not all are shown.
